Summer Fun with Temple Towels

18 July 2016

One of my favorite parts of summer is being on the water. Living in Missouri, we obviously don't have beaches, but we do have a lot of lakes and rivers. Float trips are my absolute favorite, and lounging in the sun next to a beautiful lake vista isn't bad either!

Another part of my fun, as far as lounging goes, is lounging glamorously. We all love the vintage photos of ladies in the sun with their beautiful beach ensembles, and I want to bring more of that into my life. A fantastic swimsuit and comfy towel are integral parts of that! Temple Towels sent me this towel to review and one to give away to you guys. I wanted to check them out for myself before recommending them to you, and I'm happy to say this towel passes my vintage outdoor glamour test with flying colors! It comes in a cotton drawstring bag, and the texture! These towels are some of the softest I've ever felt. They're fluffy as all get out, to the point where I may consider transitioning it to a lap blanket when winter comes.

The particular design I chose is the Ziegfeld Swirl towel, and I like how the design is almost like a mobile photo backdrop. Now some fun for you guys, a giveaway! To find out the details of the giveaway and to enter, check out this post on Instagram.The giveaway ends on next Monday (July 25th). Good luck everyone!

Finding summery/beach-like activities can be so hard in landlocked states! After a recent move, I now longer live a mere five miles from the ocean, so thanks for sharing your idea! I'm definitely going to need to locate some sort of body of water around here so that I can properly lounge! :D

Such a fun shoot! I just love the shot of you holding the towel up like a background behind you. That sings of various vintage Harper's and Vogue shoots to no end and looks so awesomely plucked from the 40s.
